TURNIPS 
HOW TO GROW —Turnips, to be tender and good flavoured, 
must be grown quickly, so should have a rich soil and an 
open situation. The seed should be sown very thinly, and the 
plants thinned out to proper distances apart when young. 
They may be sown nearly the whole year, choosing rainy 
weather during the summer months. They should be kept 
moist in dry weather. The best time to sow Swedes is in 
the late spring, summer and autumn. 
YATES’ SELECTED SNOWBALL —A very large globe-shaped 
variety. The upper surface of the bulb is reddish-purple, 
the lower part is white. It grows smooth, has a small 
root, and medium-sized tops. The flesh is pure white 
and crisp. 6d. per pkt., 9d. per loz., 2/- per Jib., post

TOMATOES 
HOW TO GROW —Tomatoes should be sown In a hot-bed early 
in spring, or in the open air when danger from frost is over, 
and when the plants are large enough plant out in a warm 
border, which should be well enriched with good, rotten 
manure. They may be allowed to run on the ground, but if 
grown against a wall or trellis work, the larger crop will repay 
the trouble. After the first fruits have set, check the growth 
of the plants by pinching ofl the ends of the shoots. Liquid 
manure during the growing season will be found very 
beneficial.

TOBACCO 
HOW TO GROW— The seed should be sown in a hot-bed, or 
in the open ground after danger from frost is over. A good 
plan Is to burn a quantity of brush or rubbish in the spring 
on the ground intended for the seed bed; then dig and thor¬ 
oughly pulverise the earth, mixing with the ashes, after which 
the seed may be sown and covered very lightly. When the 
plants are about six inches high, transplant 2ft. apart in rows 
3Jft. apart. Cultivate thoroughly. 6d. per pkt., 2/6 per Joz.,
